MgMn2O4 nanoparticles with crystallite sizes of 11 (MMO-1) and 31 nm (MMO-2) were synthesized and their magnesium-ion battery-relevant electrochemistry was investigated. Here, MMO-1 delivered an initial capacity of 220 mA h g–1 (678 mW h g–1). Electrolyte water content had a profound effect on cycle retention.
